Enter the receipt code you were given when you voted. We will tell you whether that ballot is on record. We will never show how you voted, to you or to anyone.
Before anything is looked up, the page checks the shape of what you typed. Then the checker needs you signed in, and after that it gives one of three answers, and each one says exactly what it means.
A ballot with this receipt is on record for Chairperson in the election you entered. Stored as cast.
Your choice is not shown and cannot be: the checker never returns it.
There is no ballot with this receipt code in the election you entered.
The checker could not be reached, or gave an answer this page does not understand. The page shows the reason it was given:
The receipt checker answers signed-in PollGuard voters. Nothing was looked up, so nothing has been decided about this code.
Once you are signed in, your Receipts page lists every receipt you hold and checks each in one tap, or come back here.
A receipt answers one question for one voter. It is deliberately unable to answer a second, because a receipt that showed your choice could be demanded of you.
The code comes back to you only after your ballot has been stored, not when you pressed a button that might have failed.
Each check reads the stored ballot again: its position, when it was cast, and its status: cast, verified, challenged or invalidated.
It cannot show your choice to anyone. And it speaks for one ballot: the overall result rests on the board's certified tally and the record.
Signed-in voters see every receipt they hold on the Receipts page of the voter portal, with a check beside each.
Ask your organisation's electoral board how receipts were handed out at your station. If you voted in your own account, the code is on your Receipts page.
Your election is run by your organisation, so start with them. PollGuard runs the system it is held on.
Not found, a disputed result, or an appeal. Their contact is on your election notice.
If this page itself is not working, or keeps saying it couldn't check.
Only if they give you their code and election ID. The answer is the same for anyone: recorded or not found, never the choice.
Each position you vote on is its own ballot, with its own receipt. Check each one separately.
Ask your organisation’s electoral board how receipts were handed out at your station. If you voted in your own account, the code is on your Receipts page.
No. The checker answers signed-in PollGuard voters. Without a sign-in, nothing is looked up.
It means the ballot is stored, with its status. The checker does not report whether the election is still open, so this page never claims a ballot was counted at close.
It cannot prove a choice; nothing on it shows one. Tell your electoral board.
